Product Description
Review
"A beautiful book. I recommend it to all readers, young and old, who are interested in the folktale and its unique qualities." -- Isaac Bashevis Singer, The New York Times Book Review
"Luckily someone garnered these jewels before they were lost, bound them into one volume before they disappeared...it is filled with action, magic, and humanity...." -- St. Louis Globe-Democrat
"The oral folk tradition in Russia was truly a magic spring. As in the fairy tale, it flowed inexhaustibly, reviving, consoling, and enlightening all who partook of it... these stories have an ingenuity that marks them as uniquely Russian."
Synopsis
Nearly 200 characteristic and colourful traditional folk and fairy tales, full of action, magical and human, are brought together in the only comprehensive edition available in English. A beautiful book. I recommend it to all readers, young and old...Isaac Bashevis Singer.
